It's the Forgery Terry!

To adequately follow along, I suggest several sheets of paper (for the flow charts) and a heavy dose of Tylenol (so your head won’t explode).

Go back with me in time – just to last summer – those idyllic days when the stench of political tomfoolery had not yet overwhelmed our senses and triggered our gag reflexes.

Then the so-called “intelligence memos” appeared on the radio talk show scene. A memorandum written by a Democrat Senate Intelligence Committee staffer detailed a strategy to painstakingly undermine the President’s policies in Iraq and the War on Terror.

National security be damned, so long as a Democrat was put into the White House.

Fast forward to a year ago last fall. A series of memos from Democrat staffers at the Senate Judiciary Committee were released which outlined the efforts of left-wing organizations and their willing cohorts in the Senate to stall, slime and even subvert the judicial nominations process.

In one memo of note, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund president Elaine Jones placed a phone call to Senator Ted Kennedy’s office to request a delay in hearings for Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals nominees until after a legal case on affirmative action was decided. Heaven forbid someone actually apply the law as it is written.

Elaine Jones was not an uninterested bystander, she was a party to the case. But it didn’t matter to Mary Beth Cahill, then-Chief-of-Staff-to-Senator-Kennedy-now-Campaign-Manager-to-Senator-Kerry, who apparently couldn’t overlook that clear conflict and change the hearing dates fast enough.

Judicial independence be damned, so long as liberal activist judges are put in the courts to apply the latest leftist social theory.
